Event details
7 Mile Island Wide Garage Sale in Grand Isle
The 7 Mile Island Wide Garage Sale turns Grand Isle, Louisiana into a full-island shopping route along the Gulf of Mexico. It is typically held on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, covering the entire seven-mile stretch. You will see residents and local businesses selling everything from antiques and home goods to fishing and beach equipment, with handwritten signs guiding you from stop to stop.
Start at Grand Isle High School, where you get the highest concentration of craft booths and local makers in one place. From there, drive or cycle the main corridor and pull over for the sales that interest you. The island is flat and easy to navigate, so you can move efficiently even if you are shopping with family.
Arrive close to 8:00 AM for the best selection, and bring small bills since most sellers do not take cards. Pack a reusable bag or small wagon, wear light clothing, and apply high-SPF sunscreen for the May sun. Parking is generally along road shoulders, so keep clear of driveways, and plan a seafood break near the marinas if traffic builds.
If you want an early start, book a beachfront rental or camp near Grand Isle State Park on Lake.com, so you can begin shopping right away. For a quieter base, look on the Caminada Bay side for evening water views. The event is free and pet friendly with leashes, and light rain rarely stops the sales since many setups shift under carports or into garages, with nearby restaurants and pop-up stands serving breakfast and lunch.
